STAMPED ....sd. exactly as the prison clock gave the last stroke of six human justice and the inhuman curiosity of the The headless body was placed in a coffin, and the coffin in a carriage. The good priest who stood by his side to the labt moment of his life did not quit him in death. He entered the carriage containing the coffin, and, still praying over it, accompanied it to the cemetery, and saw it laid in the earth. The curiosity of the people did not end with the execution ; they rushed towards the spot where the carriage stood or to the scciffold, in order to touch the boards, and it rc (inked all the ands of the large body of police and of the Moun'ed Paris Gusrds to keep them at a distance and maintain order. Though the deed was over, the crowds lingered some time on the spot, and the morning was far advanced before they retired. Had Pommerais' sentence been commuted, the penalty of death must have disappeared altogether from the Code. Now that the wretched man has paid the penalty of the crime of which he was found guilty, not to speak of others of which it is said there were strong suspicions, I may say that public opinion was unanimous as to his guilt. The humanitarians themselves, who are trying to get up a movement for the abolition of capital punishment, have not a word to say for this man. Among all classes the conviction is the same —that he had committed a foul murder under cir cumstances most aggravating, and for vile purposes. A commutation in his favour would have roused bad blood among the lower classes. They knew that only a few days ago a butcher's boy who had mur dered a man at Versailles, and mutilated the body of his victim to conceal his crime, suffered death on the scaffold. Were mercy shown to one who had far less to plead in his favour, it would have been attributed to his position in society ; and not a working man in France but would have said that the one had no mercy shown him because he wore a blouse; while the other escaped the guillotine because he spoke and dressed like a gentleman. The Emperor's kindness of heart would have in clined him, had there been any fair pretext, to save the criminal from the ignominy of a public execution, out of regard to the prayers of the father and the tears of the wife. But the fact that the jury, who are ever ready to avail themselves of a trifle to add the saving clause to their verdict, de tected not a single extenuating circumstance; that the Court of Cassation, after long and anxious de liberation, absolutely negatived his appeal ; that only a minority of the jury would sign the petition in his behalf; and that the majority of the Minis ters urged that the law should take its course, made it impossible for the Emperor to act otherwise. The prisoner's counsel, M. Lachaud, exerted himself greatly after the sentence was pronounced. As I have already mentioned, he had an audience both of the Empress and the Emperor. The Empress, who listened to the supplications, shed tears while she heard the wife's story, but nothing could be done to justify disturbing the verdict or the deci sion of the Superior Court. The commutation of the sentence on La Pommerais would, I repeat, have been followed by the abolition of the penalty of death, and the guillotine would have disappeared from France for ever. 7-e 4G-;%-z, Lord Derby and the University of, Cixfoid. • Oxford, Jun'e-40 . Professor Conington presents his compliment§ c, the Editor of The Sun, and requests the favour of "the insertion of the enclosed correspondence be tween Lord Derby, as Chancellor of the University of Oxford, and himself. " 124, High.street, Oxford, June 4. " My Lord,—Several newspapers during the paat week have contained a report of a dinner of a Uni versity Conservative Association, which took plena in ()afore, on Saturday, May 2'. I find there tlmt after your lordship's health had been proposed in'a speech which dwelt on your position as leader of the Conservative party ;n the country, the teas.; was responded to by Dr. Wynter, Pres Cent of John's College, as Chancellor's Secretary. " I do not know whether your lordstip's atten tion has been called to this fact ; hut 1 etti hardly doubt that you must regard it with d:s4prebatien. " An assoriation to promote the objects of one of the parties in the University may be, desirable or unde:slrable, hut at any rate it is capable of defence. But it would surely be indefensible if it attempted to claim the patronage of one who, as Chancellor of the University, is charged with the interests of the whole acadern'ical body, not of this or that party. Yet this is what is virtually done, when one who is paid by the University as an official of the Chan cellor speaks in that capacity at a dinner of an avowedly party character. " You; Lordship has shown more than once of late, by your guar d e d l anguage i n discussing Uhi 7 versity matters in the House of Lords, that you re gard your position as head of the University as quite separable from your position as head of the Conservative party in the country. Surely the same distinction should hold good in the case of your Official Secretary. - Whatever may be his private opinions on University piffles, in his connection with yoar Lordship as Chancellor's Secretary, his duties are to the University as a whole, not to one of its parties. "I will only add that, as the retort to which I have called your Lordship's attention is public, it may be necessary to publish this letter, together with any answer with which your Lordship may favour me. "I have the honour to be, my Lord, " Your Lordship's obedient humble servant, " /01IN CONINGTON. " I shall send a copy of this letter to Dr. Wynter. " To the Earl of Derby, &c." Of the origin and history of this famous instru ment of punishment an erroneous idea generally prevails. The popular version is that it was in vented in 1785 by Joseph Ignatius Guillotin, an eminent physician, and deputy for Paris in the Con stituent Assembly. This is not correct. An instru ment differing from the guillotine only in its heavy and cumbrous construction already existed in Italy. It was known in Genoa by the name of nutnuaja, and it was by that ntanuaja that Beatrlce Cenci was beheaded at Rome in 16Q5. The maiden, an instrument not unlike the guillotine, was long known in Scotland, and it was employed on the RFgent Morton, who is said to have introduced it. It was used, also, in Halifax, Yorkshire, in the reign of Queen ElzAbeth. The Duke of Montmo rency was beheaded at Toulouse in 1632 with the 711 anu All that Dr. Guillotin, who was a man well known for his humanity, had to do with the matter, was preparing the draught of a law in the Consti tuent Assembly, in 1789, to the effect that the mode of inflicting death on criminals should be the same for all alike, without distinction of nobles or ple beians; in fact, that it should be uniform. Before the Revolution of 1789 the inequality that existed during life was maintained in death ; the noble was beheaded, the villain hung from the gallows. But the inequality was a trifling grievance in compari son with the cruelty which accompanied the exe cution, There was the stake and faggot for those convicted of sacrilege or heresy; the tearing from limb to limb by horses for regicide; the breaking on the wheel, with the additional refinements of barbarity for crimes of other descriptions. Railway and Public Companies in Parlia- "St. James's-square, June 5, 1864. Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the re ceipt of your letter of yesterday, in which you call my attention to the fact that at a recent ' dinner of a University Conservative Association' my health was proposed in my political character, and re sponded to by Dr. Wynter, President of St. John's College, as Chancellor's Secretary;' and you ex press no doubt but that ' I must regard this fact with disapprobation.' I confess that lam unable to follow you to this conclusion. Further evidence in favour of the East London Railway occupied the committee on metropolitan railways yesterday, Mr Bowley, manager of the Crystal Palace, being examined in its behalf. He appeared to be of opinion that the proposed line would furnish facilities to the vast population of the east end of London, in connection with the fresh air and scenery of Sydenham, and the at tractions of the Crystal Palace, and stated that since the Palace had been opened, now for some 8 or 9 years, upwards of 15 million people and visited it. Mr Burke, the engineer of the line, was also examined at considerable length. The case for the Stonehouse and Nailsworth Railway was opened. It proposes to run from their station at Dunbridge to the Great Western west of Stroud, to raise £27,000 by extension shares and £9,000 by loan, to attach a preferential dividend to unissued shares to the amount of £20,000 in the company's Engineer ing capital of £ 66,000, and to contract With the Great Western a nd Midland to work it. evidence chiefly engaged the committee on the North Staffordshire Company's new lines, Messrs. Bouch, Forsyth, and Harrison being examined by Mr. Denison, Mr. Aspinall, and others, The com mittees on the Brecon and Rbymney, and St. Helens and Lancashire lines, were en tails and clauses. In the committ ee on l l day on de t heSheffield heffi e ld Inundation Water Bill, Mr. Denison opened the opposition to the measure on behalf of the inhabi tants and corporation of Sheffield and the district, who object to being taxed for damage occasioned by a public calamity. In Lord Redesdale's com mittee th e bill s o f t h e O swes t r y, Ellesmere and Whitchurch, Docks, Royston and Hitchin, Exmouth Holy well Railway, East Norfolk South Eastern 1 and 3 Bills, and London, Chatham, and Dover, for establishing steamboats between Rams gate, Boulogne, and Rotterdam, wee passed. " I may premise that neither had I any previous notice of the intention of having such a dinner, nor have I, since it has taken p]ace, had any intimation given to me respecting it, except that which I have derived from the public press and from your letter. " You do me justice in inferring from my ' guarded language in discussing University matters in the House of Lords, that I regard my position as head of the University as quite separable from my position as head of the Conservative party is the country,' and I hope that as Chancellor I have never done anything to indicate a confusion in my own mind between the duties imposed upon me in these ssveral capacities. But, on the other hand, I must claim for my Private Secretary the most entire liberty of expressing, in any way that ho may think fit, his own personal views on public subjects; and while I rejoice that I have the political sympathy of a man so distin guished in the University as the President of St. John's, I cannot admit that his personal connexion with me rendered him an unfit exponent of ney thanks (bad I known of the fact) for the expression of the Association as to my political conduat. You will, I am sure, allow me to remind you that the zin.2 of Private Secretary to the Chancellor of the University is one of very long recognised standing, but that on the death of my predet:essor the Dike of Wellington, the University declined to continuo Lhe salary; that Dr. Wynter consequently accepted the office wholly independently of any obligation to the University, and as my Private Secretary without salary ; and that it was not till a consider able time had elapsed that the University sane• tioned a greatly reduced salary, Cancellarii qui nunc est, secretario.' As long as Dr. Wynter per. forms his duties as Private Secretary to my satisfac. tion I do not claim for myself, still less can I admit to anyone assuming to speak on behalf of the Uni. varsity, the right of calling in question any expres sion of his political opinions ; and if, agreeing with me, my Private Secretary be present at a public meeting, there is nothing extraordinary in his tak• ing on himself, in the absence of any one more intimately connected with me, the duty of acknow ledging the compliment paid to me.—l have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, " Professor Conington.

There were many events of interest on the card, nine being set down for decision. /lacing began at 12 o'clock to day with a 100 soya Plate, which Stanton, under waiting orders, put to his owner's credit in an easy fashion. The First and Second-class Wokinghams are generally good handicaps. The first of them was productive of a fine race between Durham and Olivia, the favourite, Lobelia, run ning jady ; and the second Walloon carried off easily, nothing else being in the race —so the fielders began the day well. The interesting race of the day was the meeting of Ely and the Derby victor in the Eleventh Triennial, for Athol certainly looked rather jaded, an d as if h e did n ot the call at the close. Blair which the former had slightly half like his work, while Ely, with a free bounding action, caused his backers to be A confident. He stopped, though, won without being asked. He looked li g ht er th a n he did atEpsomw, forh c n which Custance t h e tailed work uponh him, and Blair Athol has gone through lately is a sufficient reason. A great look both of s ire and dam has the Derby hero, and he will in all probability gro w into a magnificent animal. The new stake, the Alexandra Plate, was another great turn for the fielders, as Anglo-Saxon was overlooked by most of the clever ones ; one noble lord alone being 'cute enough to back him for " a cen t ur y" at 25 to 1. Crisis was greatly fancied by the public, and she ran well, but Anglo Saxon won in a hollow style at last. There was an unusually large number of entries for the Queen's Plate, but the runners were reduced to three— Caller Ou, Gibraltar, and Guerilla. It was 5 to 4 on the mare, but still many fancied that old Gibraltar could both outstay and outpace her. Custance acted up to this sug gestion and made strong running with Gibraltar along the Swinley bottom—but Challoner brought the mare up soon after passing the road, and, heading Gibraltar before they reached the stand, went in a very easy winner. Gibraltar pulled up very lame, and seemed much distressed, The other two events were of minor importance, and the great majority hurried away after this race. The meeting must be considered highly successful. The attendance, as we have b6forementioned, was as large, if not larger, than at any previous anniversary. The Cup day was certainly unprecedented, and rarely, if ever, has there, we should imgine, been seen a more brilliant spectacle than the Royal Stand presented on that occasion. Some statistics of the racing may not be uninteresting. 386 horses contended for the 36 events spread over the four days, and for which there was neither a dead heat nor a walk over. The receipts of the stand were enormous, and a word must be added in justice to the exertions of Mr Careless, whose catering was, as usual, quite up to the heavy demands made upon it on Tuesday and Thursday.

They ran in these positions to half-way up the hill, where Durham went through his horses and took second place, which position he retained to the enclosure, where he joined Olivia, followed in a fow strides further byClairvoYante.

PARIS, Friday.—The execution of Dr. Conty de la Pommerais took place at six o'clock yesterday morning. Every night since Mon Jay crowds of people thronged the Place de la Roquette, and re• mained until daybreak. They desired to see the execution with their owe oyes, and resolved to sacrifice their rest to nor curiosity, particularly as there were rumours that a commutation of the sentence was probable. They again went to the ground as early as nine o'clock on Wednesday evening, and took their station as before. The tide advanced every hour, and soon after the prison clock struck one their attention was roused by the rumbling sound of approaching carts. Any doubts they might have had were •at oace dissipated, for the carts were laden with the pieces of the instru ment of punishment. As the night wore on the multitude grew more dense, and before five o'clock there could not have been less than 30,000 people of all classes. The bearing of many betrayed the feeling which urged them to the foot of the scaffold. An ignoble ballad, called " The com plaint of La Pommerais," had circulated for some days past in the streets of Paris. It was hummed, or drawled with others of the same style, close to the place of execution ; and the pastime was diversified with indecent jests, which were received with loud laughter by many, and re proaches by a very few. Atter the fashion men, women, and boys passed the hours till every star had gone out, and the beams of morning fell on the walls of the prison. La Pommerals, who was not informed that his petition to the Emperor was rejected, but who had evidently lost all hope, seemed much more collected since his sentence than he had been during his trial. His father and wife were allowed to see him on Wednesday. The interview took place in the par• lour of the prison ; but they were separated by a double grating, through which they were just able to clasp each other's hands. The anguish of the old man and the poor creature who was so soon to be a widow was heartrending. She clung to the grating as if she would not be torn from it; her husband was more self-possessed. They lingered as long as they could, but at last the moment for parting came. The prisoner went to rest at the usual early hour, and still under the supervision of the prison officials; and he slept soundly the whole night. At half-past 5 in the morning the governor of the prison entered the cell. La Pommerais started up in his bed, and before he had time to speak, the governor told him that all hope was over; that the petition for mercy was not granted, that he must prepare for death, for his last hour was at hand. He evinced no surprise; he only said, "I am ready." In a few moments the chaplain of the gaol, the Abbe Croze, entered the cell. The guardians fell back a short distance, but not out of sight. The convict had previously several interviews with the Abbe, confessed his sins, and, it is said, received the sacraments—but what he confessed will remain a secret for ever. When the priest made his appearance La Pommerais rose to meet him, and threw himself into his arms. He had hitherto been unmoved, but as the reverend gentleman clasped him to his breast he shed tears. While undergoing the last preparation, in which the hair is cut close at the back of the head, he listened apparently with attention to the exhortations of the chaplain, and the prayer for those about to die. When all was ready ho was asked to take some re freshment, but declined. Before he quitted the cell the head of the Department of Public Security asked him whether he had any disclosures to make, or whether he wished to say anything. " I have said all I had to say," was the reply. These were his last words, and from that moment he answered only by a nod of the head to any re mark that was made by those about him. The gate of the prison was thrown open at a few minutes to 6, and the crowd outsith, became sud denly silent. La Pommerais, with a paletot thrown over his shoulders, was seen to mount the steps of the scaffold, supported on one side by the Abbe Croze, who held up the crucifix before his eyes, and on the other by one of the gaolers. The cord which bound his feet did not prevent him from moving, and he advanced with a steady step, but with his head bent, towards the fatal instrument. He paused for an instant, once more embraced the priest, gave himself up to the executioner, and was laid on the plank. The cord that held the machine was cut, the ponderous blade rushed down, and MR. JEAFFRESON'S NEW NOVEL. Now ready at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., N ° T DE AD YE T. By J. C.
